The most obvious way that Republicans have robbed from the middle to give to the rich has been the changes they wrought in the tax code  reducing income taxes for the wealthy in the Reagan and George W. Bush tax cuts, and cutting the tax rate on capital gains to less than half the rate on the top income of upper-middle-class employees.

The less widely understood way that Republicans have helped redistribute wealth to the already wealthy is by changing the rules. Markets dont function without rules, and the rules that Republican policymakers have made since Ronald Reagan became president have consistently depressed the share of the nations income that the middle class can claim.

And yet, America still has the most progressive tax structure in the western world. Big picture, the top 20% are footing the bill for everyone else. Your premise is bullshit.

It would only be considered redistribution if you think the money belongs to the government, and we only get it upon thier whim and command.

Tax code should be 3 pages long (period)

Republicans ain't the only ones that cheat on their taxes, there, Mr. Geitner

There you go again! Stop talking about income and wealth as though they are finite piles of cash from which we all draw. That's ridiculous. Wealth can be created or destroyed. Just because one person makes a lot of money does not mean someone else must make less. Any chance in hell you'll get this through your thick skull? This stupid argument you and the other redistributionists are making is getting really old.

You can explain reality to someone who lacks the mental capacity to understand it. The OP is a fucking retard, so don't even bother.
